So I just bought myself a nice Samsung 840 EVO 500GB SSD to upgrade from a HDD in my laptop. I am having troubles finding the specs on the motherboard used in my laptop because I wanted to make sure I am taking full advantage of the SATA III speed offered by my SSD vs. my HDD which after some research I found is SATA II.

I downloaded CPU-Z and found my motherboard is an Acer JM40_HR but I can't seem to find any information on the specs of it to see if it has the potential of SATA III? Would I be better off to assume that since the HDD is SATA II that I could assume that's probably the speed of my motherboard as well?

My laptop is a Acer Aspire 4830T-6678 TimeLine X if that is helpful at all?

Since you already bought the drive, just install it and run Samsung Magician to be sure afterward. I'm pretty sure that your laptop, which has an HM65 chipset (that supports two SATA III ports) has a SATA III port.
